Using Deep link to open app with external link

Question

I am trying to make my android app open when the user presses on a link to our website. I was following this documentation but it is not working for me as it always opens the browser instead of asking if I would like to continue with the browser or the app. What am I doing wrong?

here is my manifest

 <activity android:name=".presentation.MainActivity" android:exported="true" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/Theme.LegendaryCollectionsAndroid.NoActionBar" android:allowTaskReparenting="true" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category> <data android:host="www.legendarycollections.net" android:path="/reset" android:scheme="https"></data> </intent-filter> </activity>

I think that this is the guide you are looking for developer.android.com/studio/write/app-link-indexing — madlymad

the tool was a good recommendation but the file generator is broken so I used this instead developers.google.com/digital-asset-links/tools/generator waiting for my web dev to publish the file to see if it works

Yes. Both are OK.
